"Mary..." Victor could not even finish his sentence.
"Don't worry about it. If it doesn't work for you, I will change the script," said Mary with a reassuring smile. "I may have been too selfish. I thought adding in a bit of an element of excitement would make you — "
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Mary and Victor were talking when she suddenly heard the voices of the two kids, who were scrambling to get her attention. She quickly turned around and saw their two small figures running so fast, as if they were flying towards her.
"Alick! Elissa! Slow down!" Mary crouched and held them in her arms while smiling. "Why are you here?"
"Mommy didn't go home for lunch!"
"Yes." Alick nodded and said, "We came to see Mommy with Daddy Barry."
"Good!" Mary touched their hair and saw Barry coming over with a lunchbox. "Victor!" As soon as she saw Victor, Elissa quickly got out of Mary's arms and jumped at Victor's arms.
"Hello Elissa!" Victor bent down and picked her up. "Has Elissa eaten already?" he asked.
"Yes. I have!" Elissa nodded vigorously. "I had..." Puzzled, she stretched out five fingers and continued, "I ate three steamed buns with meat."
"Ha ha!" Victor smiled and stroked her head while saying, "Good girl!"
Mary watched the two of them chat and she shook her head with a smile.
"Have you eaten?" Barry came over and asked Mary.
"Not yet." Mary smiled warmly at him and said, "Is that lunch box in your hands for me?"
"Yes, it is." Barry nodded, looked around, and replied, "Now that you're not busy, eat this quick."
"Okay."
"Barry, I haven't had lunch either." Archer came out of nowhere and sneaked up to the two of them with a funny look on his face.
"Isn't there lunch prepared in the filming set?" Barry looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"But the food here is not as delicious as Mr. Gu's loving lunch." Archer laughed sardonically.
"This isn't for you." With the lunchbox in his hands, Barry found a more comfortable place and sat down with Mary.
Archer followed them all the way and said angrily, "Stingy! You're so stingy, Barry! I've come all the way here yet you did not even bother offering a meal!"
"How about we eat together?" While smiling, Mary looked at the three dishes and a soup in front of her. "I can't eat so much food anyway."
"No, you don't have to." Barry handed the chopsticks to her and added, "It seems that he is not hungry."
"Mary" With tears in his eyes, Archer said pitifully, "Do you have the heart to do that?"
"Yes, I do." Mary nodded and took a sip of soup directly from the bowl.
"My God!" Archer exclaimed. "You are indeed a perfect match. You are both cruel! I don't want to talk to you guys."
"Then you'd better leave now." While saying that, Barry carefully ladled another bowl of soup for Mary.
"Humph!" Discontented, Archer turned around and left. Seeing that Ena was reciting the lines while eating lunch in the corner, he suddenly walked over with a smile. "Little beauty, why are you so serious?"
"Archer!" Ena's eyes lit up at the sound of his voice. Startled, Ena choked on her food. "Ahem!"
"Ha ha!" A bright smile appeared on Archer's mestizo face. With his big palm, he gently smoothed her back. "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
"No. No." Ena hurriedly waved her hand. "I just... I didn't expect someone to come here."
"I see." Archer smiled complacently and accompanied Ena for a while.
On the other side.
"Is it delicious?" Barry looked at Mary seriously. The peace at this moment between them made his heart fill with warmth.
"Yummy." Mary nodded and smiled like a silly little girl.
"Then I'll bring you food every day."
"No way!" Mary waved her hands dismissively. "You're so busy. I'm fine with the food here."
"Why not? Mary, I insist." Barry looked at her gently and reassured her. "Don't worry."
Mary felt that she was drowned in his tenderness.
Meanwhile, Barry received an important phone call while accompanying Mary for lunch, so he had to hurry out. After finishing her meal, Mary saw Victor sitting on the lounge chair alone with his eyes closed.
"What's wrong? Do you still feel uncomfortable?" Mary approached him with a lunchbox on her hand.
"Nope." Victor sat up and smiled reassuringly. "I'm just a little tired."
"Have you eaten?" Mary handed the lunchbox to him and continued, "You can't work without eating anything."
"No, thanks."
"Do you want me to feed you?" Mary opened the box lid for him and said threateningly, "If that's the case, I wouldn't mind. I'll definitely do it!"
"Alright. Ha ha!" Victor laughed heartily.
"Hurry up and eat." Mary put the lunch box into his hands and the two began to chat about the play.
After lunch, Director Jamie asked the crew to clean up the filming site and get ready for the next scenes.
"Kids, we have to leave for work now. See you later."
"Bye!" Elissa waved at them.
"Work hard, uncles and aunts!" "Be good too!" The staff left one after another, rushing to their stations to move the props.
"Shall we go find Mommy too?" asked Alick while looking at his younger sister.
"No. I don't want to." Elissa had an idea. She squatted down and pressed the colorful carpet on the ground with her fat little hands.
"Daddy Barry said you should be obedient." Alick looked at her and said seriously, "Don't damage the floor. Mommy will be angry!"
"I won't break it!" Without raising her head, Elissa continued to play with the carpet alone.
"Then I'll go by myself!" Alick said as he took a step away, "I'm going to play with Mommy and Daddy Barry!"
"Hmm, Alick is a bad brother." Elissa stood up right away and looked at her brother angrily.
"It's your fault. You didn't want to listen to me."
